Not Just Shoulders and Knees: An Athlete Has a Spine too!

Welcome to this issue of Clinic in Sports Medicine focused solely on the axial skeleton and its care in the athlete-patient. Although commonly overlooked in sports circles, spine-related injuries, pain, and limitations remain a commonly encountered complaint among the athletes that you care for. Furthermore, spine remains an area that most general orthopedists and sports medicine specialists are less than comfortable diagnosing and managing. We hope that this work will provide an athlete-focused framework from foundational basics to contemporary surgical techniques all written with the Clinic in Sports Medicine readership in mind.
